Further subjects were divided into two different groups. Scapula position was examined at three different positions.
Statistical methods: Descriptive statistical analysis was performed in the present study. mean value, standard deviation, confidence interval, t value and p value were obtained.
Result: The result exhibits statistically significant changes in scapula position among undergraduate students as compared to those who were not having neck pain having p value <0.005 Conclusion In the present study, it was seen that scapular position is altered in undergraduate students who are suffering from text neck syndrome.
